Offers a fresh portrait of Lincoln, one that helps us make sense of his many contradictions. This work shows that, if you examine the speeches that Lincoln made in the 1850s, you will have no doubt of his passion to end slavery. It argues that Lincoln was a rare man indeed: a fervent idealist and a crafty politician with a gift for strategy.
